Done. ❤️

Finally finished my Ghost shadowbox, with my Skeletour concert memorabilia. Track listing, “ticket”, bracelets/gifts, pieces of the trim I used on my outfit - even a piece of confetti I caught!

Brain: Hey, remember that gold and white cording with the tassels you bought for like a loonie, at the textile museums fabric sale like, three years ago?

Me: Yes?

Brain: 👁️👁️ We have an Idea.

Me: :O!!!

As much as I understand next to nothing about the UMAD ffxiv fight, (or any raid content let's be real 😅) it's so entertaining to watch the World First Race - and when I see a White Mage on the field I can't help but be delighted - That's Glare IV! That's Dia!! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD LILY!!! 🌺✨

My Smol ones have been planted - the chosen ones to further the cycle of oxygen into the universe…

Aka - we’re trying jalapeño peppers and spinach (the latter was distraught about leaving their plastic container but we’ll see if it rebounds, and the former because why not?)

Trying my hand at sanding my Elpis mask - it's rather quite clean to begin with, so it's a very gentle beginner project for me who has never sanded resin before.

.... with sandpaper that I am pretty sure might be older than I am. Works good though. So far so good.

Oh yes! I did/am! Had an KN95 on, and was working outside in open air yard with a decent breeze for good airflow. (I naturally wear glasses which also helped, and rinsed off the project before bringing it inside to get rid a lot of the dust before coming inside. (But thank you for the remind, in case I didn't, especially since this is a new Art Form for me! Always worth the remind/heads up.)

Flowers at the garden centre today.

Mmmm, the "hard" part of the Costume brain worm I have right now, is outside of the very specific piece that I have now bought, I can think of several fabrics/notions I already own that are feeding into the idea, which means it goes from "Nope, Can't Budget" to "Actually.... is it Maybe Possible?"

[magicandstitchcraft]

I'm absolutely at that weird intersection of Post-Convention Blues, and Post-Convention Frenzy of Inspiration.

I have Ideas, that are rapidly getting more elaborate in design, rather than more controlled. 😅

AN Wrap Up Thoughts (Rambles):

Thank you SO much to everyone who came by and supported my Stitchcrafting. I appreciate the patronage so very much - both to those new to my wares, and the kind patrons who support me year after year. Your delight and excitement keeps me creating new things.

And also, thank you to those who made a point of popping by, just to tell me they still love what they bought from me, even years ago - honestly that brings me so much joy to know that something I made still brings happiness to their owners. ✨

Fellow AA artists - you're amazing people. Keep creating. Keep crafting. Keep making, okay?

My con fam/artist friends- So glad to see your faces again this year, chatting/catching up when we could, or even just pointing aggressively/supportively across the crowd at each other. Missed you all.

Shout out to @nemesismess Thank you for sharing your table with me again this year. You're superb artist, and a fun but steady person to work alongside. Everyone go support Pixel Bands!

And, of course, my friends who support me doing this year after year. Thank you for helping me, encouraging me, working with me, hosting me, and enduring the utter chaos I bring when Become the Bag Witch. Love ya, got it?

Until the Next Show… but for now… Time to Recharge.

Post Anime North Thoughts are on their way... Once I slam some coffee into the absolute oatmeal that is my brain right now. Convention hangovers are real, and make you dangerously sentimental.
